Who Was Behind Net Neutrality?

A FOIA request by the advocacy group Judicial Watch show that there may have been more behind net neutrality than we were first led to believe. The organization announced on Thursday that it uncovered documents showing that the FCC worked with a left-leaning organization who campaigned to regulate the internet. The group, ironically called Free Press, calls internet access a 'civil right', and calls for taxpayer funding to provide internet access to 'underserved' populations. Free Press was founded by the editor of the Monthly Review ('an independent Marxist journal) and a writer for The Nation, and receives funding from George Soros' Open Society Institute.
